This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />great prog & it's free & it works!!!!
jpegs are converted to tiffs on import
to flip use the mirror function but this works only in vertical direction so do a 90/3x90 deg turn afterwards,
used the tool/inspector for precise changes to an object, best is have the inspector open all the time!
it seems selecting the active layer is not working, everything was on 1 layer then select/cut/disable all unused layers then paste into the only active layer placed the object to where i wanted it (click onto the eye to make the layer invisible, click the pen to block the edit)
there are spec tool for mech drawings added
under 'save as' you can select from 5 ways to export, svg export is missing!! to export to a jpeg: make a screen shot of the drawing,
the tool bars are floating - you can put them aside
the tools & icons are reasonable easy to understand thus a manual may not be of importance
Where's the documentation

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm fairly familiar with older vector drawing programs, but this is too difficult for me because there is no help file or documentation of any kind. I'm going to give up and go to a commercial program with full documentation.
Great replacement for occasional Freehand and...

...Illustrator users<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />What can I say? Open source rules! This is such a fine piece of software that I recommended it for occasional and infrequent users who simply need to open EPS files created on Freehand or Illustrator, and make minor edits. Great stuff. Lifesaver as well, since it is free and great for struggling artists, small studios, occasional users, and expanding studios and agencies alike.
Wow! Do you miss Tailor? Check this out.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Tailor was an old NextStep, then MacOS Classic app (by EnFocus) that let you open and edit PostScript files. The EnFocus guys seemed to move on to PDF files only -- well, this app seems to be a reasonable (and OS X native) approximation to Tailor. And it's free! Wow -- very nice work...thanks! My only nit (and since it's open source, I should fix it myself) is that it silently doesn't open some PostScript files.
